Yariv Horowitz Beaten at French Film Festival

Horowitz, who directed the film "Rock the Casbah" was participating at a film festival in France when he was attacked by a group of Arab youths just before the film won the best film award, unconfirmed reports suggest.

He apparently lost consciousness and has been subsequently treated. Horowitz is said to have returned immediately to the festival after treatment. Authorities are estimating that the attack was racially motivated.

Horowitz, who represents Israel, is said to have been attacked after the screening of the film by a group of Arab youths.

Let be clear about what they mean by racist. They, for some unknown reason, hate Jews.

Here is a trailer for the film. If anyone has a full copy available we'll run it.
